Screen Design Considerations for Designing an Electronic Brainstorming Software

Journal Title: Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 22

Abstract

This paper discusses a study carried out with the purpose of developing and evaluating a prototypical electronic software that captures a brainstorming session. The created brainstorming system, which was part of an integrated system, was tested with a volunteer group of 10 undergraduates of a public university in a computer laboratory. A popular topic on tourism was used a catalyst to generate ideas for the brainstorming activity. Students’ feedback on the efficacy of the system was elicited via structured interviews. Findings revealed that there was a need for creating a good, user-friendly interface for manoeuvring between pages; a clear and easy-to-understand instruction; and a good contrast of displayed text and graphics. Further discussion comparing the improved version with that of the earlier version of the software is presented. Recommendations pertaining to good practices of good screen designs are also discussed.
